Do you only have to do the driver's side? Is there also an adjustment for the passenger side or are the two headlights linked together through this one adjustment?

there is an adjustment for both driver and passenger, you'd have to adjust both, same way on either side

This is super info! I'm assuming this works with both AFS and static lights? I was pointing out to a friend how the lights moved back and forth in turns -- he couldn't see what I was trying to show him and I basically said: " yeah, the damn lights just don't reach out far enough for it to help any...". I seem to constantly need to run high beams

not sure if this has been answered.. but why is there a rigid difference in the height of the driverside and passengerside beam pattern? is there something i'm missing with these factory HID's?

Most cars to my knowledge has always had the passenger side higher and the driver side lower to not blind oncoming traffic. Slight difference, how much of a difference is there?

how do you adjust the lights to move them left to right? My drivers side headlight is shooting to the left and i dont feel like taking it to the dealer because their the ones who got it there in the first place.

thanks for the guide, will try to adjust my headlights as well although my '07 GS450h does not have bubble to guide me. Hopefully headlight is the same so I don't buy 10'' screwdriver in vain

i think i stripped the screw with a #2 since they didnt have any #3 at homedepot or advanceauto .

nothing happened, but i got a lot of black plastic residue on my screwdriver when i put it at the point where it felt like it had the gears.

i'll try again with a #3 in hopes of getting it fixed .
